Ntinod,,o,,il1o Cb.on;cJo: Mr. n " Scott
brought us a branch of n mulberry tree
which grows on the place of Mr. Tronp AL
| len, of Hancock county, which differs from
any we have ever seen. The leaf, bark, etc.
| is Identical with the old barren mulberry
trees which are used so much for shade
trees in this section. The difference consists
| in peculiar green ball which grows in the
| place of the berry. A crimson and white
| bloom comes out over this ball which some
what resembles cedar balls in wet weather
| This flower is as sweet as honey, and the
| children eat them with impunity. Several
other trees have been propagated from this

drummer returned few days ago and went
TO the same house with different brand of
cigarettes, and in signing the contract the
book keeper saw that the drummer was the
same man who had sold them four years be-

house pinned it down on him, and then
owned up and begged forgiveness, but the

At Ellaville the SllDerior Court adjourned
Saturday morning. The noted case of fine
State VS. Charles Blackrnan fine murderer
of StonewaU i Tondee was AGAIN tried
and he WINS AGAIN found puilty without
recommending that he be 7mnrisoneJ for
life. This is a memorable case The Coro-
ner's Jury. after full Investigation found
that Blackman was the murderer. The
grand Jury found an Indictment. charging
Blackman as the murderer The defendant
has had three trials by jury, and each
time he has been found guilty of murder
and each time sentenced to be hung His
case will again be carried to the Supreme
Court, if new trial is refused, which is
more than probable. Under the testimony
the verdict would be the same if he was
tried 100 times. If Blacl1man is guilty, he
is the most guilty murderer that ever lived.
